(Updated at 3 p.m.) SILVER SPRINGS SHORES -- At about 1:10 p.m. Marion County sheriff's deputies arrested a man who barricaded himself in a home in Silver Springs Shores.

Deputies had gone to the 23 Hemlock Terrace Trail home of the man's brother at about 11 a.m., according to Sheriff's Office officials. The 27-year-old man - Shannon Soucey - had reportedly told his girlfriend he was going to make a bomb, according to the Sheriff's Office.

The Sheriff's Office evacuated three nearby homes and set up a command center at Wings of Faith Church off Southeast 64th Avenue Road.

The man's girlfriend found out online this morning that there was a warrant for his arrest - a pickup order on the charge of driving while license suspended or revoked that called for 28 days in jail, sheriff's Capt. Dennis Strow said.

The man got agitated about the warrant and said that, if judge wouldn't rescind it, he was going to make a bomb. Then he went into the garage.

Sheriff's officials said they believe he also had a high-powered rifle in the home.
